HyperX is a gaming peripherals brand originally launched in 2002 as a high-performance memory line by Kingston Technology, later expanding into headsets, keyboards, mice, mousepads, and microphones. Kingston sold the HyperX gaming division to HP Inc. in 2021, and the brand continues under HP's consumer peripherals portfolio. While primarily known in the gaming and esports space, HyperX has become a notable name on Equipboard through its line of USB microphones aimed at streamers, podcasters, and content creators.

The brand's microphone lineup centers on the QuadCast, a USB condenser microphone with four selectable polar patterns (cardioid, bidirectional, omnidirectional, and stereo), a built-in anti-vibration shock mount, tap-to-mute sensor, and red LED indicator. The QuadCast 2 refines the original with 24-bit/96kHz recording. The SoloCast offers a more compact single-pattern (cardioid) option with a USB-C connection, while the DuoCast sits between them with two polar patterns. All three are certified for Discord and TeamSpeak and work with OBS Studio, Streamlabs, and XSplit.

Beyond microphones, HyperX is widely recognized for the Cloud series of gaming headsets, which helped establish the brand as a retail sales leader in PC gaming audio. The product focus leans toward streaming and gaming use cases rather than professional studio work, but the plug-and-play USB microphones have found a following among home podcasters and Twitch streamers.

Kingston HyperX has 15 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Headphones & In-Ear Monitors, Computers & Peripherals, and Dynamic Microphones. Their gear is featured by 3 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Electronic, and Pop. Notable users include Armin Van Buuren, Rolando Mora, and Yung Spinach Cumshot.
